The browser wars are in full swing. Market leader Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) is pushing to regain momentum as it readies Internet Explorer 9, while Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) continue to update Chrome and Safari respectively.

Another key player, Mozilla, developer of the popular Firefox browser, isn’t sitting still either. As eSecurity Planet reports, Mozilla plans to include new and improved security features in Firefox 4, due out later this year, including a specific defense against clickjacking and improved performance.
